May 31, 2012 - Canary Labs enhanced its Enterprise Historian and TrendLink solutions to monitor field equipment used in hydrofracturing operations. Designed to increase operational efficiencies by monitoring and analyzing field equipment, historical data will be used to determine the root cause of downtime caused by mechanical and other types of failures. The Canary Labs hydrofracturing solution can monitor fracturing fleets located in regions throughout a given territory or region. Each fleet includes a central ‘Data Van’ and a varied number of trucks. The Data Van acts as the communications link to the centralized operations center.
As trucks travel between fleets, they dynamically connect and disconnect to the Data Van revealing their location and other critical data. The Enterprise Historian transparently identifies changes, collects and logs data, and transfers the data to central operations for analysis and planning. Based upon the detailed pressure, flow, density and other data, operators are able to determine where failures are occurring and how and when they happened, leading to increased production time of the overall fleet.
“We are excited to provide a solution to the fracking industry that will identify operational and mechanical failures and provide channels for improvement,” said Ed Stern, vice president. “This solution demonstrates the breadth of the capabilities of Canary Labs offerings. After years of success in serving critical data to operators within operation centers, we are now able to utilize the latest technologies to provide a variety of applications outside the control room. Data is placed directly into the hands of managers to achieve a higher rate of production from their invested equipment.
Our customers can connect and access data from anywhere at any time, achieving lower operational costs and faster time to value.”
